What Is Progression?

Similar to a pre-release, each player will have a unique card pool. After the sign up period closes, the tournament organizer will generate 36 packs of Lost Origin for each player (live on stream!) using pokemonsim.com. Any players new to the series will also have 36 packs of Brilliant Stars, 36 Packs of Astral Radiance, and 18 packs of Pokémon GO generated for them. The results of a player's simulated pack openings is the card pool available to them for this tournament! The pack opening results will be stored in a spreadsheet and sent to the participants via Discord, so watching the pack opening stream is not required.

To help ease the deckbuilding process, all players have access to 4x Friends in Sinnoh and 4x Friends in Hisui.

Important Swiss Rounds Note: Wins are worth 3 points; ties are worth 0 points.

Tournament Policies

IMPORTANT! Game results stand even in the event of game errors -- disconnects, crashes, etc.

Proof of Match Result: Keep a record of the Game Recap screen to settle any potential disputes.

Going First/Second: During Games 2 & 3, the loser of the prior game gets to decide who goes first.

Slowplay/Stalling: Intentionally running down the timer is unsporting conduct and may result in consequences. Cases will be evaluated independently by judges. Consequences may be as severe as game losses, match losses, or tournament disqualification.

Dropping: If you no longer wish to play, please use the red "Drop" button on your dashboard.

Family Friendly Community: We welcome players of all ages. Inappropriate usernames, language, etc. will result in disqualification.
